Symbol-level analysis: Flow-ranked option discovery (Market Rank)
Symbol-level analysis—under Option flow analysis in the app—ranks the universe by options flow for any session date, with a public symbol drawer, Day trend charts, and an Option Trades handoff. The default list preview is open to all; sorting, full filters, and CSV are premium.
Symbol-level analysis in TradingFlow (navigation: Option flow analysis → Symbol-level; the same surface is also referred to as Market Rank in product history) answers: for a chosen session date, which names lead by options flow—premium, sentiment, and delta-style metrics? It is a first-class route at /app/market-rank, with its own direct link and metadata, while reusing the Option Trades data ecosystem under the hood.
You get a ranked table, symbol lookup, per-symbol inspection drawer (with Overview and Day trend), and optional AI summary tools—tuned to how flow is actually distributed that day, not a generic “volume only” read.

What you see
The app is built around an as-of session date for the flow cohort. Rank and columns reflect that date’s symbol-day aggregates. Typical columns include rank, symbol, type (e.g. ETF, index, stock), sentiment, total premium, call %, net put premium, DEX, and DEI—so you can scan leaders by size, direction, and delta impact.
- Symbol lookup — Type a ticker in the toolbar to open the symbol inspection drawer (same public navigation surface as clicking a row).
- Table — A ranked, column-rich view; exact sort and filter behavior depends on tier (see below).
- Symbol drawer — Overview for the selected symbol and date, plus a Day trend view: above the history table, charts show stacked call/put premium by session and DEX lines (bullish-sum, bearish-sum, and signed net DEX). History table premium columns line up with the list semantics; sentiment labeling stays consistent with the ranked list.
- Open Option Trades — From the drawer header, jump to Option Trades in a new tab with the same symbol in the URL. Available to all tiers; the table does not duplicate a separate per-row “flow” link—drawer → Option Trades is the main handoff.
- AI summary (optional) — When enabled, generate or refresh a synthesis (takeaways, conclusion with stance and confidence, risks) from the current view. May require entitlement.
- Download CSV — Export for subscribers where available.
Ranks for filtered views are meant to reflect filtering against the full per-date symbol-day cohort first, then ordering—so “top under these conditions” stays meaningful, not a shallow slice filtered after the fact.
Public preview, public drawer, premium controls
Symbol-level analysis is designed with a clear boundary:
- Default list preview — Guests and free users see the canonical preview ranking for the app’s preview contract, without needing a subscription to browse the surface.
- Symbol drawer — Opening a symbol, switching Overview vs Day trend, refreshing drawer data, and deep-linking into drawer state are part of the public navigation experience.
- Premium-side controls — Changing list sort, submitting symbol or filter changes that move off the preview request, advanced filters (e.g. filter popover with numeric range bounds on premium/DEX/DEI columns), date and other server-backed list mutations where gated, and CSV export are paid (or otherwise entitled) interactions, enforced in the app and on the server—not merely client-side nags.
In short: you can see the ranked story and open any symbol’s evidence path without paying; you unlock full workflow—custom sorts, full filter sets, and export—on subscription.
Filters and table (premium when gated)
Quick filters
Where your tier allows, you can typically adjust:
Toolbar with session date, quick filters, and the ranked grid:
- Date — Session date (defaults to the latest available in the system).
- Type — ETF, index, or stock.
- Sentiment — All, bullish, or bearish flow tone (aligned with net-DEX list rules at high level).
- Min premium — Thresholds such as
All → $250K → $1M → $5M → $10M → $25M → $50M → $100M(values as shipped in the product).
Numeric range filters
From the Filters popover, set min/max on columns such as total call premium, total put premium, net put premium, total premium, net DEX, and net DEI. Active filter chips should appear under the toolbar when applied.
Column sorting from headers may be gated for unpaid users (sort attempts can be blocked before local state changes), while paid users can reorder to hunt leaders by premium, call %, net put, DEX, or DEI.
Where to find it
In TradingFlow, use Option flow analysis → Symbol-level, or go directly to /app/market-rank.

- Option Trades — Trade-level flow for a symbol; use the drawer’s Open Option Trades handoff to land with the symbol already set in the app.
- Option Chain Analysis — Gamma, cross-sectional vol, and per-symbol chain depth in one surface at
/app/option-chain-analysisfor structure and OI context on names you find here.
The standalone cross-symbol OI change rank app has been retired; for historical OI on a single symbol inside the app, use Option Chain Analysis’s drawer (e.g. OI Time Machine) instead of looking for a separate OI-rank listing.
